How do I set the default for all folders to NOT show in groups ?

I just switched from Outlook 2000 to 2003. One of the useful new features is
the grouping of messages, but almost all of my folders are sorted in
descending order of date, and I do NOT want to "Show in groups" because I see
fewer messages and because the grouping is not very useful when sorted by
date. How do I set the general default for this feature so that I have to
turn it ON when I need it, instead of turning it OFF in many dozens of
folders.

Sounds like you are better of in defining your own views (View-> Arrange
By-> Current View-> Define Views...) so you can easily apply a specific view
to a folder upon first use.
